<p>Registering the "not found" handler is a different way than ESP8266WebServer. The <em>onNotFound</em> of ESP8266WebServer does not work with AutoConnect. AutoConnect overrides <em>ESP8266WebServer::onNotFound</em> to handle a captive portal. To register "not found" handler, use <a href="../api/index.html#onnotfound"><em>AutoConnect::onNotFound</em></a>.</p>

<p>By default, AutoConnect saves the credentials of the established connection in EEPROM. You can disable it with the <a href="../api/index.html#autosave"><strong>autoSave</strong></a> parameter specified by <a href="../api/index.html#autoconnectconfig"><strong>AutoConnectConfig</strong></a>.</p>

<p>The captive portal will only be activated if the first <em>WiFi::begin</em> fails. Sketch can detect with the <a href="../api/index.html#ondetect"><em>AutoConnect::onDetect</em></a> funciton that the captive portal has started. For example, the sketch can be written like as follows that turns on the LED at the start captive portal.</p>

<p>It can also prevent the captive portal from starting even if the connection at the first <em>WiFi.begin</em> fails. In this case, the behavior of <a href="../api/index.html#begin"><em>AutoConnect::begin</em></a> is the same as <em>WiFi.begin</em>.</p>

<p>So in the default state, the credential storage area used by AutoConnect conflicts with data area owned by the user sketch. It will be destroyed together saved data in EEPROM by user sketch and AutoConnect each other. But you can move the storage area to avoid this.</p>
<p>The <a href="../api/index.html#saveoffset"><strong>saveOffset</strong></a> in <a href="../api/index.html#autoconnectconfig-api"><strong>AutoConnectConfig</strong></a> specifies the start offset of the credentials storage area. The default value is 0.</p>
